    Everything extra costs something, if you try to check in early there’s a cost, if you want a beach umbrella there’s a cost. For the price of the room some of these things should be included. Also we stayed in a room in the Tapa Tower, the room looked out over a depressing scene, large noisy extractor fans and rubbish on the rooftop.

    Good facilities

    3 days of strike was not a great experience. Waking up to yelling and going to sleep to yelling wasn’t ideal. Having a dirty room and dirty corridors was suboptimal. Hilton knew about the strikes 3 weeks in advance, least they could’ve done was warn us and also decrease the nightly charge considering we did not get what we paid for.

    The pools, water slides of the kids and the beach. Service in the restaurants was great.

    We can't think of anything significant enough to mention. Some people wrote about how huge and busy the place is. It is large and at check in time it is very busy. But again...the staff went above and beyond to get us up to our room super quickly so we could make the shuttle for our dinner sunset cruise. That took some extra effort by our bell hop, Brandon. He's amazing. Well done, and Mahalo to Brandon and all staff.

    The grounds are very pretty with fish ponds, trees, and birds. Although the resort is very large, it doesn't feel like it, the way it's laid out, with many nice shops and eateries to enjoy. We stayed in Tappa tower, which was modern and clean with well-appointed rooms. We had a king ocean view room, where we enjoyed tea on the balcony every evening. We really appreciate that right outside the elevator lobby, steps away was the pool and an open air bar with food and live music every night. We had a great time staying here.Highly recommend Tappa Tower. But the most appreciated thing was the way we were treated by the staff. Everyone from the bell hop, to the waiters, to the young staff at Crazy Shirts (fantastic shop, btw), to the pleasant lady who checked us out. Pleasant, patient, conversant.Just lovely people. They made our stay so much better because we felt like our comfort and experience mattered. I can not say enough about Hilton Hawaiian Village. We will absolutely stay here again. Mahalo 😁

    Very expensive to stay at the hotel, but it is Hawai'i! Drinks very expensive too - $10 for a beer & $15 for a cocktail plus tax! Could not get the shower regulated, it's was either scalding or freezing! Would have liked another mirror in the bedroom away from the bathroom.

    Stayed in the Ali'i tower. Room was lovely with a really comfy bed. Loved the quick check-in and pool only for Ali'i guests. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location on Waikiki beach was amazing! Restaurants and stores very convenient within the village.

    For its value, there are no provided dental kits and no available drinking water in the room. Water also collects in the bathtub when we shower and it takes time for it to drain completely. We can also hear other guests next door. There are also some stains on the carpet..

    Our room was pretty big with a view of the beach and the city. The resort is nicely located in the beach front. There are a LOT of restos and stores near the resort which makes the stay convenient and accessible.

    Definitely need more than one beach view bar! More adult friendly nightlife places. It surprised me how much like Disney/ family heavy it was. Everyone was closing down early. Please don’t forget your adult vacationers who just want a pretty view, social company and a good adult beach beverage. I am just saying not everyone who wants an adult beverage responsibly needs to be treated like some spring break drunken idiot.

    Staff were amazing and location was incredible. Especially Erl at the pool side bar! I will definitely be coming back because of him.

    The rooms have no microwaves. While I understand the desire to want people to spend money in restaurants and order room service, a simple microwave would not affect this from occurring.

    Tapa Tower offered a beautiful view of the ocean and the lagoon. The room was larger than my previous stays in the Ali'i Tower, and my view was wonderful.

    It seems the facility wants to nickel and dime you for everything. Outrageous prices for parking and high food prices when around the corner you can have much more authentic cuisine and better value.

    We were upgraded to a room that had much more to offer than what was initially purchased. Front desk staff was extremely kind and helpful.
